حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَاثَةَ عَنْ مَسْلَمَةَ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَبَرِحَ ظَبْيٌ فَمَالَ فِي شِقِّهِ فَاحْتَضَنْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَطَيَّرْتَ قَالَ إِنَّمَا الطِّيَرَةُ مَا أَمْضَاكَ أَوْ رَدَّكَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 1824
It was narrated that al-Fadl bin 'Abbas said: I went out with the Messenger of Allah one day, and there was a gazelle which was running and it turned towards us, so I caught it. I said: O Messenger of Allah, do you regard it as a good omen? He said: Rather the omen is what makes you go ahead with something or refrain.
